I got it from the repoview site and built it myself.  I had been having 
problems with 0.5.2 (I forget the error, I could dig it up if you want) 
and thought I would try the latest version.  This got rid of the error, 
after I install python-hashlib.

If people want to use it, I could put it up into contrib or testing.  I 
like it.  I've found I like the templates better than are in 0.5.2.
